What a cute, clean and delicious donut shop. They have espresso coffee and homemade muffins too! They were even nice enough to make me a ham & cheese croissant after they ran out. Highly recommend his little gem.

It was nice to find a donut shop that is open very early near where I work . It opens at 4am an its freshly made. Clean shop an smells wonderful upon entering. We need to support local famy own business cause its what these family works hard to build. But this shop has do much to offer an are friendly an waiting to serve you. Around the Sunrise Boulevard area go inside an treat your sweet tooth to a tasty treat. Do try going early I went around 7am an people were already coming in going so your favorite donut or other type you may crave could be gone til its made again fresh the next day.

Howard's has the best donuts I have tasted. Always fresh and never greasy. The customer service is great and the shop is always clean. Am now working in another city, but still miss Howard's!

This little donut shop is awesome. After moving back here from Washington we had to find a good donut shop. There are no Legendary Donuts here so the quest was on. Howard's is by far yummy in my tummy. Personally, I love the huge apple fritters. My husband enjoys the multiple jelly fills (raspberry, cherry, blueberry and lemon) but his favorite filled donut is the bear claw filled with apple filling. You can get them glazed or crumb coated. The variety here is awesome. They do alot of the old school techniques dipping in coconut, peanuts, crumb coating, etc. There are some non traditional items here as well and the croissants are huge. I'll take more pictures later depending on the crowds. They are covid prepared. Very friendly staff and the coffee is great too. Get here early or call to s
